Chapter 2070. Battle Plans

2070  2070. Battle Plans

Scylla and Leon had already begun to create a battle plan. The way that the two seemed to get along after having their merfolk and aquatic demi-human forces work together was spectacular. They could somewhat guess what the other was imagining before it was said. "Fifteen squads will leave and try to surround the main area where the ships will be letting off the remaining forces. This will also protect the ships as they make their moves inside the dangerous area within the island." Scylla knew very well that there could be more threats they did not know of yet. The ocean waters and the beach were already a place known for threats. The high possibility that they would need to fight monsters while coming to shore or even on the shore was very high. However, it was already clear that the island had some monsters on it. From what the scouting elves could see using their advanced vision skills, they had spotted various monsters fighting corrupted monsters already. The undead corrupted monsters were being sent out seemingly to fight and cause chaos. Not even to gather more for their army. This was further supporting the theory that the demon lord was done with what he needed to do. That he had more than got where he finally needed to go. However, this also meant that he was able to do what he had in mind for his goal. That he was able to move forward with his end goal. "The forces that can fly will be above the air matching the merfolk led squads. We will ensure that any flying monsters or enemy forces are dealt with. We will also ensure that the forces making their way on to land will be able to do so regardless of any terrain changes or dangers in the surf." They will be split up in to smaller groups of three, this will allow over thirty smaller squads the ability to move around faster. Join up where they are needed, and again split off. Using flight as their focus will greatly assist us." Scylla made it very clear that they needed to make use of what skills they had. The smallest advantages were major here. "The ranged forces that will be following me to encounter that forest and overgrown ruins area, will be guarded by the general forces on foot. Your squads are already decided. You also understand that you must protect the harpies along with the abyssal and heavenly serpents joining you. They are your key to communication. They will spread the word when you discover something." This was Alma's idea. Having the smaller groups of foot soldiers divided up with dedicated communication members would allow everyone to trade information much faster. Especially since it was clear that they were all having some effect on their systems with the changes to both their perspectives of everything, and the world's changing state. The manas alone had become more chaotic in general since they had heard this island. Walker could sense that the manas were flowing oddly here even without the corrupted mana playing a part in all of this. Simply put, this was what the echidna had sensed from a greater distance. They knew that the manas were not flowing properly here because this was a place once attached more closely to the bridges of the elemental planes. Therefore, the corrupted mana would also have some effect on this thin veil between areas. This meaning, that the manas would always be odd. But without the proper connection, the manas were even more stressed than what they had been before. The corrupted mana on both sides was wearing away at things. It surely meant that the demon lord was about to make a move and affect the general safety of the world. "That leaves the specialized soldiers. The spiders, goblins, tamers, and others. You all know your strengths. You can work freely with every squad created. You will report to your leaders. Remain prepared for the dangers that you will face. You will mainly find that you are assisting the dragonkin in their efforts." Seeing that Scylla was still taking the lead, Walker did not see the need to interrupt. She was recounting the plans that they had all made. This was just a recap for the moment. "The dragonkin will, be moving ahead faster to explore the ruins. Especially the earth dragonkin. They have the skills able to clear any blocked areas along with prepare traps for baiting in the dangerous corrupted undead." " Do not forget the angles. We will be attacking the ancestors turned in to slaves by that monster. You can allow us to put them all to rest." The angel that spoke up was one with six wings. He had come from the angel's city entirely. His strength appeared every high, but he was also dead set on helping the floating city return to the ground to be put to rest forever. "That's the plan, the fire mages will be the best partners to the light mages. They should be able to handle the dangers of corrupted undead. They might even be able to get rid of it entirely, the false death runes around should not be that powerful." Walker spoke up. His focus on the fact that the joint attacks would be doing the most work at the end of the day. "Healers will follow me. We will prepare an entire healing area on the sans right where we touch land. Then I will proceed forward myself. Buffing every soldier that I can." Alice said the most she had ever said in a while. Injuries were not an if. They were a when. This being the case, every healer that had gathered with the forces here were prepared to do the best that they could. With Alice and various other higher ranking healers here, they knew that even the smallest bit of support would be valuable. This was just the case for their current situation. "The vampires may not be able to do much. We will do something though. We were freed because of everything done recently. It would be a tragedy to ignore those who are our saviors." seeing the vampires were prepared to fight even still in a weakened state, not a single person denied them. This was simply because this battle was just that dire. The more help, the better. The fewer lives that might be lost. The mages were already gathered in preparation to leave. Walker could see that they even had some rune carvers with them. This had been a surprising joint group when he had first seen it. However, some rune carvers were gaining strength rapidly. They could make rune formation quickly. So quickly that it could be made to boost certain spells. This would lead to a very large enhancement of the mages as a whole. They would ensure that the mages were fighting with the strongest potential they had. In turn, the mages were acting as guardians for the rune carvers. "I will be heading right for that city. The floating one. That's fine, right? There's one more sin title holder on there. I can handle it." Barry taking on the last sin title holder was a big deal. If he managed to do this, then it was the last force that the demon lord could use as a pawn. However, it was also an unknown. The other sin title holders had been understood. Their power known. But the sloth sin title holder was still a mystery overall. Even information from the other races had not been enough to know what came with that title. What strength Sloth had would be something that Barry found out himself. "We will trust you to ground that city while we head toward the ruins at the top of that mountain. Defeating Sloth should make a large difference in the dangers we face. Especially since Sloth has been with the demon lord the longest after we defeated the others." With Walker's last input, everyone moved. Not a single person was left behind. The fear that some would not wish to fight was entirely gone. Even the non combat roles in all this had made moves to push ahead with this battle. Blacksmiths wielded their hammers, and alchemists had brandished potions that they could throw. Even if they lacked the strength to fight otherwise. Tension filled the air as the ships moved ahead and the row boats were prepared. They all knew that some of them might not make it back from this. That they were facing a true evil of their world. This didn't need a speech. Just the solemn determination that came with their goals. Their desires to protect their world and everything within it.  …
